Diyas is NEAR's evening of Devcon week, on Wednesday 4 November 2026, 16:00 to 20:00: a rooftop at a Mumbai working space, lit with diyas, marigolds and string lights, turned into a live agent economy in which the guests play the chains, the swaps and the secrets. The hosts promise no slides and no talks, only the game.
Why it is on a Solana calendar
Because the intent every squad builds ends on Solana. Each guest arrives with a persona card that NEAR AI makes from their RSVP answers, carrying shards of an intent. You find five others whose shards complete one valid cross-chain intent, from NEAR to Solana, a swap, in confidential mode, and take it to the Executor Booth, where an operator runs it as a real micro-intent of a dollar or two on-chain, with a testnet fallback, and prints the transaction hash.
What you take home
A squad Polaroid with the transaction hash and a TEE attestation written on the back, which the desk trades for Diwali merchandise that is not on sale anywhere.
Getting in
Free, with the hosts' approval. Fill in the RSVP questionnaire, because your persona card is made from it; come alone if you like, since squads form at the door; and bring a phone and your wallet handle. The hosts are ArQ and Abhiraj Mengade, and the evening is on NEAR Legion's events calendar.
NEAR's other evenings that week
NEAR Builder's Cafe #2, on Saturday 31 October, 18:00 to 21:00, from the same hosts, is a reading evening: up to three people each bring one original text, from Turing and Shannon to Attention Is All You Need, and the room asks what changes now that machines can read, reason and act on it. The NEAR × Quantus Happy Hour, on Thursday 5 November, 18:00 to 21:00 by G Block in Bandra Kurla Complex, is about quantum-resistant infrastructure and the confidential money NEAR Intents is bringing to cross-chain trading. Both need the hosts' approval.
And for all four days of Devcon, the Agentic Hub inside the Jio World Centre runs the working version of the same idea: agents with identities, wallets and x402 payments.
Answer the RSVP questions properly: your persona card is made from them, and the hosts warn that a guest who skips them arrives as an NPC.
